LIPSCOMB, Prof. J. F.
Well Known Educator Dies in Rockport, Tex.,
Mrs. G. A. Davis received a telegram Saturday from Mrs. J. F. Lipscomb, at Rockport, Tex., announcing the death at noon of her husband, Prof. J. F. Lipscomb. The telegram stated that the body would be temporarily interred at Rockport.
The news of Prof. Lipscomb's death caused quite a shock to his relatives and many friends in this city. It is stated that while he had been ailing for about two months with heart trouble, he had only been confined to the house for three weeks. He was about 50 years of age, and leaves a wife and one child, who were with him at the time of his death; a sister, Mrs. G. A. Davis, and two brothers, Granville P. Lipscomb and David Lipscomb.
Prof. Lipscomb was born at the old Franklin College, five miles south of this city, and was the son of William Lipscomb, who was professor of mathematics at the college. He was educated at the University of Virginia and subsequently was principal of the Nashville High School for thirteen years. He was elected principal of the High School at Waco, Tex., about 1896, and held that position for about four years, returning here as principal of Trimble School for four years. He was teaching his second year at Rockport, Tex., at the time of his death.
He was a member of the Knights of Pythias and of the Royal Arcanum, and a consistent member of the Christian Church. He was an excellent teacher and very popular with all who had ever been his pupils. He had a very large circle of friends in this city.
Early in life he sustained an accidental injury to one of his legs, which resulted in its amputation years afterward. This however, did not affect his naturally sunny disposition, and he went through life apparently without a thought of this serious handicap. (The Tennessean, Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 19, 1905
